Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 51 Performance
Among the three princes, King Qi looked honest and honest. After toasting the Queen Mother, he retreated after saying his birthday speech.

King Ning was humorous and eloquent, and the empress dowager smiled happily after a few toasts.

King Mu may be due to foot disease, he is rather dull and reticent. After toasting, he said a word of wishing the queen mother a happy life and nothing else.The empress dowager also knew his temperament, she smiled and cared about him and let him sit down.

Seeing that King Mu went down, the prince was supposed to bring his two younger sisters to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, but the prince was looking around in his seat, not knowing what else to look at.

The two princesses had already got up and he didn't respond. It was the little eunuch behind him who reminded him again and again to remember what he was going to do. He hurriedly got up and took the eldest princess and the second princess to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Fortunately, he memorized the birthday greetings well enough, and there was no mistake in the birthday celebration later.

The emperor's face looked better now, and the queen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wanning shook her head slightly in her heart, the prince is already six years old this year, but his behavior is really not smart.

Fortunately, there is only the crown prince in the palace now, otherwise...

But what does that have to do with her?She didn't plan to have a baby anyway.

At the later birthday banquet, Lu Wanning didn't look around, but only focused on the dishes in front of her and the singing and dancing in the venue.

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning several times, and saw her eating there with her head down.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and when it was over, Lu Wanning was full of wine and food, and didn't even notice the way the emperor looked at her when he left.

As soon as she returned to Linglong Pavilion, Lu Wanning asked someone to prepare water. Under the service of Qingzhi and Qingdai, she took a bath and freshened up. The incense that I like recently, I leaned comfortably on the soft bed, and picked up a book to read.

Although Lu Wanning felt that the emperor should come to Linglong Pavilion these days, she also knew that the emperor would not come tonight.

On such a day, even if the emperor does not go to Fengyi Palace, he will stay in his own Jianzhang Palace.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Wanning heard that the emperor had gone to Fengyi Palace.

Thinking of the prince's performance at today's birthday banquet, Lu Wanning felt that the empress might not want the emperor to go to Fengyi Palace tonight.

With this thought in mind, when she went to pay her respects to the queen the next day, Lu Wanning paid special attention to the queen's complexion, and found that even though the queen put on makeup, she couldn't cover the faint tiredness on her face.

Of course, Lu Wanning was not the only one who noticed the Queen's status.

Low-ranking concubines can't speak, even if someone wants to curry favor with the empress, they dare not speak up, but the concubine Xiang and the others don't have such concerns.

After finishing the ceremony to the queen, the noble concubine said directly: "The concubine looks at the queen's face not very well, but why is she not feeling well? The queen should also pay attention to her body. If there is something wrong with you, we What can people do?"

Whenever the noble concubine speaks, Concubine Jing will definitely sing a few words against her.

"Sister Guifei said this, why does my sister listen to you as if you are hoping that the empress is not feeling well?"

Concubine Concubine Jing glanced sideways at Concubine Jing, and said in a low voice, "I'm just concerned about the body of Empress Empress. My sister said this, could it be that my sister thinks so herself?"

The queen looked at the noble concubine, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and said: "The noble concubine cares about my body, I know it, but you two don't have to worry about it, I just have to take care of it during this period of time. It's the Empress Dowager's birthday, and at the same time she has to take care of the affairs of the palace, so she's a little tired, just rest for two days."

The imperial concubine knew the reason for the exhaustion on the queen's face, but she wanted to use this incident to poke the empress' pain. The empress also used the right of the imperial concubine to deal with the affairs of the palace that she had always wanted to get her hands on but could not, to fight back against the two of them.

Over the years, the imperial concubine wanted to transfer part of the palace power from the empress more than once, but the empress held on to the palace power tightly, so the imperial concubine could only watch.

After the queen's words fell, Anpin, who hadn't spoken much when I asked An, smiled and said: "There is no way to do this. The empress is the master of the harem. All the big and small things in the harem need to be handled by the empress. It is inevitable that you will be tired." Yes, fortunately, the empress dowager's birthday is over now, empress dowager, you only need to rest for two days, and you will definitely regain your previous radiance."

After all, the queen is a queen, and she gave birth to a prince. Even if the prince is not very satisfied with the emperor, the queen's position is still very stable. The concubine has no children. Even with the support of the Zhongyonghoufu, she dare not go too far.

Hearing this, she said with a smile: "The empress should pay attention to rest and take care of her body." She didn't speak anymore.

With this incident, everyone stopped worrying about making trouble, and sat in Fengyi Palace and chatted lively with the discordant people, and then dispersed.

After everyone left, the queen rubbed her forehead, and asked Liuli with a tired face, "Why can't the emperor be more lenient to the prince?"

Last night, after the emperor came to Fengyi Palace, he called the prince to him and reprimanded him for a long time. He also asked the prince to go to Jianzhang Palace every day after school from today. He would personally check what the prince learned every day. And teach the prince.

This is a good thing, it proves that the emperor still values ​​the prince, but the problem is that the prince respects and fears the emperor, now that the emperor has trained him a few times, he is even more afraid of the emperor.

Even if it is an article that was originally memorized, once it is in front of the emperor, it will not be able to recite it.

The queen was really worried that after the prince went to Jianzhang Palace, the emperor would not be satisfied with his knowledge and behavior, and would be punished by the emperor every day.

But last night, she just spoke a word for the prince, and she was scorned by the emperor, and finally she stayed directly in the side hall.

Liuli knew that the empress loved the prince dearly, but in Liuli's view, the emperor's actions were correct. The empress doted on the prince too much, which was not a good thing for the prince.

After all, the prince will inherit the great treasure in the future. If he is pampered by the queen and empress knows everything and his knowledge is in a mess, then how can he be a monarch?
But Liuli couldn't tell the empress about this, because in the empress's opinion, the prince is only young now, and it will be fine when he grows up in the future.

Liuli could only persuade the empress, and said: "Empress, you don't have to worry, the emperor also values ​​the prince so he wants to take the prince with him to teach him. The prince is the emperor's own son and the only son. It won't really hurt the prince."

The queen sighed. Even so, the prince will suffer a lot.
